Unit1The Internet has made English learning much easier. English learners used to be (obliged) to spend their time in libraries looking for the books that would help them in their language studies. It was very inconvenient because a lot of materials could only be found in (tedious) and uninteresting textbooks and readers. But today authentic content on a variety of subjects is only a click away. This is especially (beneficial) for those who wants to learn English earnestly.In order to achieve fluency in English, you need to be comfortable using at least 10,000 words. The (abundant) materials on the Internet make it possible for you to choose appropriate content to read and listen to. These materials can be (adjusted) to your level if you input some key words in the search engine. But how can you remember the (6)(bulk) of unfamiliar words?In this case, the Internet (evidently)makes it easier to learn vocabulary. You can use online dictionaries to instantly find out theirgrammatical (functions) and the specific meaning of these (efficiently) accumulate words. The Internet helps you to vocabulary based on lively and interesting language content,which greatly reduces your (distress) caused by inability to remember the new words. The efficiency of this vocabulary learning is one of the reasons why the Internet has become an ideal place to learn English.Unit2Through exploration of the humanities, we learn how to think creatively and critically, to analyze, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow us to gain new (insight) into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts (education) since the ancient Greeks first used them to educate their citizens. Research into the human experience helps to (boost) our knowledge about our world. Through the work of humanities scholars, we learn about the values of different cultures, about what goes into making a work of art, and about the (mystery) of how history is made. Their efforts depict the great accomplishments of the past, help us understand the world today, and give us tools to imagine the our future.Today, humanistic knowledge continues to (promote) the (prospect) of ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience. Learning another language might help togreat insights as well as gain much (invest) you with (appreciation) of different cultures. Taking a close look at a sculpture might make you think about how an artist's life (affected) his creative decisions. Reading a book from another region of the world might help you (10)(speculate) about the meaning of democracy. Listening tohistory courses might give you a clearer picture of what the future will be like.Unit3There is a special life stage that our generation goes through. It is the (1)(transition) period, during which we move from teenage to adolescence. We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are (saddled) with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves. My parents have already expressed feelings of (anxiety) over my future with academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind graduating in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to (acquaint)myself with the world, they seemed so shocked.(equivalent) to That idea sounded foreign and to them was lack of ambition.Apart from that, my mother has (expressed) to me that she is (resent) this worried that I am not searching for a boyfriend.I stupid idea of marrying out of college since it does not suit me one bit. Women today can get what they want out of life without a man, even children, as it becomes moreI personally want to stay in school as long as I can to (reinforce) my academic work, possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after, begin to think about (shifting) to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or less "ready" for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me. (acceptable) for women to adopt children.Unit4Traditional dating is a self-paced, general meeting of two people. The two usually(commence) with spending extra time together, (tempting) they getting to know one another and seeing how could be to each other. A good example is a man meeting a woman and sensing her (charm). He then extends a formal invitation for a date. With traditional dating, you get to go at a steady pace,(allowing) yourself and your date to get to know each other through extensive contact.There are many (components) that can be expected from(display) these traditional dates. Men, who are supposed to traditional values, will open the door for the woman, stand up when she leaves the table, pay for everything, and (proceed) to the next move. In the1950s, a man would usually ask a woman out several days ahead for a specific date and time. If she accepted, they would (arrange) for a time to pick her up. He would then take her to a dinner and a movie.Today the rules of traditional dating are less clear. Twenty years ago, if a young lady asked a men out on a date, it was thought to be (weird). Now, women are being encouraged to take the initiative and ask men out. A date may consist of a brief meeting at a café or a trip to the (10)(local) art museum. Men often pay on the first date, but the woman may offer to go Dutch. The traditional dating style has been found much less common now.Unit5To spend or save is a question which many people have. There is always a(n) (dilemma) whether one should spend the money thathe has earned or save that money for the future. Well, there is no (explicit) answer to the question as different people have different (3)(perspectives) on their life, and that is the reason why some people tend to spend all the money earned while others (retain) control over their money. People who spend all the money do not think much about the future. The only thing that they enjoy doing most is to (5)(derive) pleasure from spending money. For example, if they like a particular car, mobile phone or laptop, they will buy it without giving it a thought. For them, the most important thing is to satisfy their material (6)(appetite). People who have their first job or who haven't married often fall in this category. In the long run, saving is a good (7)(option) for one's life as saving helps an individual to plan forfuture (urgent) needs. That is also the reason why many people save money for a rainy day. Individuals who can (suspend) their spending save money successfully. Instead of buying on impulse, they delay their purchasing decision and won't be easily (10) (manipulated) by commercial ads. Individuals who haveresponsibility for their family belong to this category.Unit6Simplifying is not necessarily about less. It can be about more: more time, more enjoyment, more accomplishment, and more of what (profits) you. If you do a lot of things that don't bring you joy or support your long-term plan, then doing less of that kind of things makes sense because you can't (preserve) everything. The purpose of simplifying is to remove what's not important.To understand what should be (discarded), try to think of activities and things as either assets orobligations. An asset is something that is valuable. Some (corresponding) examples are stocks, bonds, buildings, land, gold, etc., but a little more broadly, an asset is anything that can strengthen and (motivate) you, moving you closer to your goals. However, obligations are debts. An obligation is anything that (weakens) you, moves you farther from your goals, provides negative stress, creates anxiety, and decreases your health.Then how can you (implement) the idea of simplifying? Think about your daily activities and start with just one area. For example, you may begin with (obligations) by making a long list of your daily activities. Your list may (revolve) around such routines as payingbills and planning a birthday party for a friend, etc. Do the activities get you closer to your goals? If not, (10) (modify) the list. Remove what is unnecessary in order to concentrate more on something important in your life.Unit7It's obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals. Women in the workplace are (flourishing) as an increased number of women have made their presence felt in many industries and professions. The sector of the female workforce has (expanded) with more and more strength and thus has its (genuine) importance in the professional world.Whether they like it or not, men have to accept that women are marching up the management ladder confidently and (diplomatically). Women used to be much more "quiet and passive" due to the relatively small number of female employees in (comparison) to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their (administrative) positions by using all their powers of intelligence.Men are hierarchical and (jealous) of the "beauty power" that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) (dispute) whether many professionalfemales got into positions of power by using their appearance to theiradvantage, the (valid) fact is the majority of women have worked hard to achieve their desired success.Women were considered as (bystanders) in the workplace for many years and it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or secretaries, but today's women can not only hold their own positions in the workplace, but they also have the dual task of raising their families.Unit8The animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, (1)(hence) being called animal liberation. It advocates the idea thatthe most basic interests of non-human creatures should be (afforded) the same consideration as those of human beings. Advocates (lobby) for animal rights from different aspects, ranging from the focus on animal suffering in laboratories to the argument that (insists) on not casting animals as properties of human beings. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly(consent) to the opinion that animals should be viewed asnon-humanmembers of the moral community and should be (omitted) from being food, clothing, entertainment, or research subjects. The idea of (7)(awarding) rights to animals wins the support of several prominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral (compass) and for that reason cannot be granted rights. Only humans have duties and, therefore, only humans have rights. There is nothing wrong or (evil) about using animals as resources so long as there is no unnecessary suffering. From within the animal rights movement itself, there has also been (criticism) of certain forms of animal rights activism, in particular the destruction of fur farms and animal laboratories.。

新视野⼤学英语2_选词填空原⽂及答案Unit 4What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and possibly even created? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love seems still to defy total understanding. We can, however, know something about love and make stronger connections between individuals.One thing that seems to affect love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are separated. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more intense. Something that nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love with time. Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also demands selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly committed to finding true love, you should make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.Unit 5My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys. He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise. Lately, though, he has ceased to listen to what I say. He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures. The change in his attitude has been very noticeable even to his teachers. The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he rebelled and stayed out until ten o'clock. Later I found out that he had skipped school completely that day. I found out that he was with a(n) bunch of boys who often cause trouble. I decided to forbid him to do anything with those boys, but he didn't listen to me. In spite of my objections to him being with those boys, he was with them the very next day.A friend of mine has a son who is having identical problems. She decided to give him a change of scenery and sent him to a private school. I'm not sure this is the best solution, though. You can't just change a boy's behavior by changing his school every time he does something wrong. It is better to help a kid establish a good set of core values.Unit 6My name, Bobby, is used both for boys and girls. Girls spell it "Bobbie". It is characteristic for little boys to be given a name with a "y" sound at the end. For example, I often had a Jimmy, Johnny or Billy in my classes. In my second grade, I also had a Bobbie. In order not to confuse us when she called our names, our teacher assigned us the names "Bobbie Girl" and "Bobby Boy". This caused me a lot of trouble on the playground. There, my friends labeled me "Bobbie Girl". For my friends, the apparent contrast between my name and my sex was the source of much laughter. The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very embarrassing . I had a tendency to compensate for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have otherwise. I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of the other boysadded together. The real "Bobbie Girl", conversely , acted more like a girl. When my teacher realized she had made a mistake, she stopped calling us "Bobbie Girl" and "Bobby Boy". Unfortunately, my friends never forgot or ceased calling me "Bobbie Girl". Third grade was an improvement; the original "Bobbie Girl" was in a different class. Also, I requested the teacher just call me "Bob".Unit 7My family, my boss, even my doctor had told me this would happen, but I didn't listen. They said I was getting overwhelmed and focusing too much on the negative things that happened to me. "If you don't learn to control how you react to bad things that happen in your life, you are going to cause damage to your heart," said my doctor. "So many of the situations you complain about are beyond your control. Getting caught in them is very destructive for you physically and emotionally. You have to learn to let these things go and focus on things you can actually change." I, undoubtedly, should have made his advice my number one priority right then. Unfortunately, I got caught in a traffic jam that very same day while driving home from work. This was the settingfor the heart attack my doctor had warned me about. Instead of looking for a better outlet for my stress, I began to yell at the car in front of me. Then the muscle fibers of my heart began beating like a bag of worms instead of pumping blood. Fortunately, it was only a mild heart attack. Someone came to my aid and then accompanied me to the hospital. I have definitely learned that life is too short to worry about things you can't control.Unit 8Having a lot of money is useless without a good education. Life isn't simply about consumption and having a good time when you're not at work. Money will only cause you grief unless you use it for the welfare of the world. That's why I believe that a good education is indispensable. A formal education with emphasis on history, literature, and culture helps a person learn how to distinguish right from wrong. Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only render skills for performing atask. It doesn't teach you how to make important decisions. Employers tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task. Our world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their performance. It is evident that far too many people today are focusing on making money and not on improving themselves. What puzzles me is why people should ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money. It is only rational a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits. After all, our civilization simply can't be built on the principle of making money alone. In summary, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world around them. This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.Unit 9Nobody has ev er had to tell me to get out of bed. My number one asset has always been that I am much more ambitious than most. The way I see it, life is too short tomake periodical concessions to comfort and fun. If you want to accomplish something remarkable, you've got to stay motivated and constantly work toward your goals. My goal has been to become a(n) journalist since I was a young boy. When I was eight, my father said, "That field of work is too competitive for you. You should be more realistic about your prospects and abilities." I didn't want to deceive myself about how hard it would be, so I started that day by getting a job delivering newspapers. I departed from home every morning at 4:30 to do my work before school. I was fascinated with the printing machines so I always arrived to work early to ask questions. I wasn't much of a scholar, so I eventually ended up enrolling in an average university. Still, I was keen on becoming a reporter and did not give up my dream. I wrote for the school newspaper and when I graduated, took a job sorting mail with a local media company. I later convinced them to give me a chance to write some simple articles. That's how I got my start.he wars of the past.。

There are no 2 C) rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a 3 D) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a 4 N) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too 5 O) abrupt, there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possi bilities go without being 6 A) assessed when there is too much pressure. I don’t believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the 7 E) perception is that they just don’t care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another 8 G) means of making money.All of this used to create a real 9 I) dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have a little __10 K) interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.A) assessed B) accessed C) rituals D) conventionE) perception F) distinction G) means H) processI) dilemma J) relationK) interaction L) appropriateM) convenient N) leisurely O) abruptKeys: L C D N O A E G I KUnit 2Bill Johnson’s path to Olympic gold was different than that of most.

He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background., and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became 2 K) involved in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17. There was no lifelong 3 D) commitment to the sport. He did not ___4 H) exemplify the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still, few failed to 5 J) appreciate his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was 6 E) perfect for the course. And so even before the race began, he was 7 M) claiming victory. “This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me,” he had boasted. He also caused so me comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers 8 G) hostile toward him. That just 9 B) encouraged him even more.

I guess my dad was a bit of racist. Unfort unately, no arguments could counter Dad’s beliefs. Despite his ___1 protests though, Will and I decided to go through with our wedding. On a marvelous June day, we were married in the park. The wedding went off without any 2 hostile words or embarrassing exchanges. It was actually quite beautiful. There was just one problem. Many of our friends and relatives didn’t 3 attend our wedding. I had to 4 conclude that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we knew. Other than my father, no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Will. It did not seem 5 appropriate for them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way. My dad had strong 6 reservations about my marriage to Will, but at least he was there. Will and I decided to 7 overcome this burden by showing everyone how wrong they were. We wanted not only to love one another, but also to 8 defy racial hatred by loving one another. We probably weren’t being all that 9 realistic, but we did succeed with one person. My dad and Will have developed a(n) 10 amazing friendship. My dad says he has forgotten why he ever had any doubts about our marriage.A) overcome B) deny C) defy D) concludeE) accomplish F) attend G) related H) appropriateI) realistic J) efficient K) amazing L) hostileM) protests N) distrust O) reservationsKeys: M L F D H O A C I KUnit 4What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and possibly even 1 created? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love seems still to 2 defy total understanding. We can, however, know something about love and make stronger 3 connections between individuals.One thing that seems to 4 affect love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are 5 separated. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more 6 intense.Something that 7 nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of 8 uncertainty or need transform into love with time.Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also 9 demands selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly 10 committed to finding true love, you should make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.A) intense B) uncertainty C) demands D) commandsE) nourishes F) comforts G) connections H) affectI) alter J) defy K) isolated L) separatedM) forbidden N) committed O) createdKeys: O J G H L A E B C NUnit 5My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys. He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise. Lately, though, he was ___1 ceased to listen to what I say. He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures. The change in his attitude has been very ___2 noticeable even to his teachers.The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he 3 rebelled and stayed out until ten o’clock. Later I found out that he had 4 skipped school completely that day. I found out that he was with a(n) 5 bunch of boys who often cause trouble. I decided to ___6 forbid him to do anything with those boys, but he didn’t listen to me. In spite of my 7 objections to him being with those boys, he was with them the very next day.A friend of mine has a son who is having 8 identical problems. She decided to give him a change of environment and sent him to a private school. I’m not sure this is the best 9 solution, though. You can’t just change a boy’s 10 behavior by c hanging his school every time he does something wrong. It is better to help kid a establish a good set of core values.A) solution B) explanation C) behavior D) objectionsE) bunch F) appreciable H) Identical I) packageJ) ceased K) rebelled L) defied M) skippedN) deny O) forbidKeys: J G K M E O D H A CUnit 7My family, my boss, even my doctor had told me this would happen, but I didn’t listen. They said I was getting 1 overwhelmed and focusing too much on the negative things that happened to me. “If you don’t learn to control how you 2 react to bad things that happen in your life, you are going to cause damage to your heart,” said my doctor. “So many of situations you 3 complain about are beyond your control. Getting caught in them is very 4 destructive for you physically and emotionally. You have to learn to let these things go and 5 focus on things you can actually change.” I, undoubtedly, should have made his advice my number one 6 priority right then. Unfortunately, I got caught in a traffic 7 jam that very same day while driving home from work. This was the setting for the heart attack my doctor had 8 warned me about. Instead of looking for a better outlet for my stress, I began to 9 yell at the car in front of me. Then the muscle fibers of my heart began beating like a bag of worms instead of pumping blood. Fortunately, it was only a mild heart attack. Someone came to my aid and then 10 accompanied me to the hospital. I have definitely learned that life is too short to worry about things you can’t control.A) priority B) favorite C) jam D) yellE) react F) counter G) complain H) moanI) focus J) destructive K) financial L) warnedM) threatened N) overwhelmed O) accompaniedKeys: N E G J I A C L D OUnit 8Having a lot of money is useless without a good education. Life isn’t simply about consumption and having a good time when you’re not at work. Money will only cause you grief unless you use it for the 1 welfare of the world. That’s why I believe that a good education is ___2 indispensable. A formal education with emphasis on history, literature, and culture helps a person learn how to 3 distinguish right from wrong. Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only ___4 render skills for performing a tas k. It doesn’t teach you how to make important decisions. Employers tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task. Our world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their 5 performance. It is ___6 evident that far too many people today are focusing on making money and not on improving themselves. What 7 puzzles me is why people should ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money. It is only 8 rational that a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits. After all, our 9 civilization simply can’t be built on the principle of making money alone.In 10 summary, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world around the. This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.A) welfare B) payment C) puzzles D) indispensableE) performance F) manner G) civilization H) summaryI) main J) evident K) visible L) rationalM) distinguish N) render O) accumulateKeys: A D M N E J C L G H完形填空部分Unit 1I am frequently asked the question, “Can you use chopsticks?” I have lived in Korea, Japan and China.
